Will an American bought phone work in Ireland


Will an American bought phone work in Ireland?
I live in Ireland but i really want a phone like the LG Env http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/env(vx9900).jhtml or something similar, however since theyre unavailable in ireland i was going to buy one from the US, just wondering will it work if i put an irish SIM card into it? and if not is there a way of unlocking it or anything like that?

Some neccesary point to draw the attention at,if you want to buy a phone abroad are: - The system network CDMA or GSM.Make sure it match to your carrier,if your carrier is in GSM you should only buy one that is in GSM. = The Frequency of the phone and your carrier are also must be match. = The last is,the phone you want to buy must be UNLOCKED to any carrier. I have a look at the phone in the link,it is a CDMA 800/1900Mhz and as far as i know,a provider under CDMA technology in Ireland run its network under the frequency 450Mhz.Guess it mean...OK !!
